Lindsay Lohan's Job At Ungaro Is On The Line!

Uh oh! Though Lindsay Lohan and a small handful of people were excited when she was named artistic advisor at Ungaro, it doesn't look like the feeling is mutual!
As you remember, as soon as Lindsay joined the company, head designer Esteban Cortazar quit, and after the disastrous boobie-baring debut of the line in Paris this October, the company received a lot of criticism. Ungaro himself even talked smack about Lindsay's collection, saying, "I am furious, but I can't do anything about it," adding that the fashion house "is in the process of losing its soul."
So what now? Ungaro's chairman, Asim Abdullah, is reportedly in a huge fight with CEO Mounir Moufarrige over Lohan's future role at the company, reports Page Six. A fashion insider who has reportedly seen emails exchanged between the two execs says, "Asim wants her out now. Department stores in the States have already told him they won't be picking up the line if Lohan remains a collaborator, so it's a serious issue."
However, the insider says that the main source of conflict is the CEO's desire to keep Lindsay on board. "Mounir wants to keep her on because it was his idea to hire her in the first place. He's trying to save face." Of the battle between the execs, a rep for Abdullah said, "Such an insinuation is totally absurd."
Lindsay's multi-year contract is said to be worth seven figures, so for her sake, we're hoping this is all a huge misunderstanding! After all, where else is she getting her money from?
